Femme, Thanks again. Now I see what md5summer can do -- it's interesting and helpful under some circumstances, but is not quite what I was looking for (under Windows). md5summer can calculate the md5sums for every file in a directory or on a disk (and save them to a file), but cannot (AFAICT) calculate one master md5sum for an entire burnt cdrom. (As I can do under Linux using something like md5sum /dev/cdrom.) I guess what I could do is run md5summer on all the files on a cdrom, store the results in a file, then run md5sum(mer) on the resulting file. Presumably I could find software to do the same thing in Linux (because part of what I want is a Linux / Windows independent way of generating an md5sum for a burnt cdrom. (In other words, a calculation that can be performed in Windows or in Linux and develop the same result.) regards, Randy Kramer
